CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,306, dated January1, 1884.

Application led July 12, 1883.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES HIDANIELL, a citizen of the United States,resident at Prescott, in the county of Nevada and State of Arkansas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or iigures of reference markedthereon, which form a part` of this specification.

Figure 1 ofthe drawings is a side view. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectionalview, and Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views.

This invention has relation to churningmachines; and it consists in theconstruction and novel arrangement of devices, as will be hereinafterfully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.'

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, a designates a conicalframe, of sheet-iron, made iiat on one side, as shown, andcut out at bin the flat side, near its base, to receive the churn. The base of theframe a is about twenty-four inches in its largest dimension, and theframe is forty-five inches in height. These dimensions may be varied toany required size I may desire,as a larger size will be required fordairy use. The frame a is strengthened on its outer si'des,near its top,by bearing-irons c and d, in which are formed the bearings for thejournals of the gear wheels and fly-wheel used in this construction, andfrom one of which, c, extends the guides e and f for the plunger-rod s.

h designates the shaft for the spur-gear wheel i, and 7c indicates theshaft for the pinion Z and the fly-wheel m, the latter wheel being uponthe end of the shaft k, and the two former being incased by the conicalframe a, as

for the reception of the wrist-pin q, in order (No model.)

at f to permit the pinf, by which the lower end of the pitman r isconnected to the plunger s between the guides e and f,to pass when themachine is in operation.

In the modification shown inFig. 3 no plunger s is used. A guide-bar, t,is provided between the arms t t2, on which the pitmanhead u slides. Thepitman-head a is provided with an arm or projection, o, to which theupper end of the dashenrod s is connected. In other respects theconstruction is the same as that hereinbefore described. The cut-outportion leaving the opening b in the iiat side of the frame c enables meto bring the churn directly beneath theplunger or pitman-head, and alsoenables me to employ shorter shafts for the gear-wheels and iy-wleelsthan I could otherwise do.

The frame is preferably niade of a single piece of sheet metal cnt outin the proper form and bent around a block or former, w, at the top, andhaving its overlapped edges secured by rivets.

w designates the crank for operating the mechanism. In the dairy-sizepower may be -the spur-gear i, pinion Z, y-wheel m, having the spoke n,provided with a plurality of perforations, and pitman r', connected tothe plunger-rod working in guide-arms extending from the bearing-iron c,and the said rod adapted to connect with the dasher-rod, substantiallyas specified.
